  • This is the ultimate step by step tutorial on how to cut and install cornice also know as coving. I will show you everything you need to know to actually do it yourself. From an inside corner to an external corner and even an stop end also know as a return. These mitre cuts can be confusing so make sure you save and share this video to help people also do it themselves and save money.

    Really clearly explained at a nice slow pace with no steps omitted. Not knowing that I had to flip it over before putting into the miter box was WAS driving me mad. Thank you. 👍

    Well done Bill, a simple turn to the left or right rather than a jump to the left and then a step to the right that would always inevitably lead me to time warp the cornice and my mind. Another great tutorial that clearly shows the steps involved in creating those different cuts.

    I did some cornice a few years ago but could not find much info on how to do it. Took forever as my brain had a lot of trouble putting all of the 3d requirements together on how to get the cut edges to meet. Also had a regular mitre box, did not know there was a special one. Thanks for the vid - makes much more sense now.

    Your videos are always exactly what I need, Bill. I'm doing 50's style 5-step timber cornice in a couple of rooms to mimic the original plaster. As you'll know, that stuff is expensive and I've buggered up regular 90mm cornice before by cutting it in that same mitre block but from the top side. Luckily for a room it's just 4 internal corners and you've been an awesome help with this video!

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  10 місяців тому +2

      Definitely expensive and I would be measuring 10 times before cutting. Hopefully it works out for you👍

    • @simpletonballsack
      @simpletonballsack 10 місяців тому

  • @larrydugay1967
    @larrydugay1967 5 місяців тому +1

    That was brilliant, the first mistake I made was to assume the 90mm when fitted into the mitre box was the opposite of where it should have been on the internal steps. The second was I didn't flip it.
    Thank you Very Much Bill.

    Actually, I found videos for cutting cornice some years ago when I was finishing my house. The most difficult for me was the corners where I had to allow for the raked ceiling😅. Boy was that fun. Anyway, I would recommend for DIYers get yourself some styrofoam moulded cornice. So much easier to handle than the plaster stuff.

    You are a lifesaver!! No - one I have asked, in general DIY stores, has had any idea what I meant when asking about cornice corner tools. I've bought and returned three different boxes or curved plastic moulds purporting to be for coving, and not one friend of mine knew how to do it either. I've been trying to work out how to make the cut with a bevel, and just driving myself crazy. Does the box you use work for different profiles? The one I'm using is Ogee. Thanks again for putting out the only video that explains everything in detail. Cheers!

    • @billshowto
      @billshowto  6 місяців тому

      The box takes any profile that fits in the box 👍
